Yes, of course. Have you looked at the NSConnection class reference, where it documents multiple methods for obtaining connection objects? First of all, your server already has multiple connection objects. The first connection is like a listen socket. As new clients connect, it accepts those and creates a new child NSConnection for each. > Why I want this: My client process has many threads, and the server > process must create a thread for each client thread. Your clients (each thread is a separate client, if you like) should be checking in with the server by invoking a specific method on the root proxy. They should be passing some object representing themselves to the server. On the server side, the check-in method will actually receive a proxy for the client's object. This will be an NSDistantObject. The server can invoke -connectionForProxy on it, then -runInNewThread on the connection. At least, I'm pretty sure that will do what you want. Another approach would be for the server to set a delegate on the main connection and, each time it is asked if it's OK to create a new connection for a new client (whether that new client is a separate process or just a separate thread), your delegate method can invoke -runInNewThread on the new connection. For a multi-threaded client which wants to have several connections to the same server, you may have to jump through a couple of hoops. NSConnection is pretty eager about reusing its instances if they match a new request. You may need to create the connection somewhat manually by creating the ports and then explicitly using +connectionWithReceivePort:sendPort: or -initWithReceivePort:sendPort:.
